Ground Hojicha, a roasted green tea powder, has been gaining popularity in the world of mixology. As a Ground Hojicha supplier, I'm excited to share some of the most delightful Ground Hojicha - based cocktails that can elevate your drinking experience.
The Basics of Ground Hojicha
Before diving into the cocktails, let's understand what Ground Hojicha is. Ground Hojicha is made from roasted green tea leaves that are finely ground into a powder. It has a unique, nutty, and slightly sweet flavor profile, which makes it a versatile ingredient in cocktails. Unlike other green teas, the roasting process gives Hojicha a more mellow and earthy taste, making it suitable for both warm and cold beverages.
Hojicha Old Fashioned
The Old Fashioned is a classic cocktail, and adding Ground Hojicha gives it a modern twist.
Ingredients:
- 2 ounces of bourbon
- 1/2 ounce of simple syrup
- 2 dashes of Angostura bitters
- 1/2 teaspoon of Ground Hojicha
- Orange peel for garnish
Instructions:
- In a mixing glass, muddle the Ground Hojicha with the simple syrup until well - combined. The muddling process helps to release the flavors of the Hojicha powder.
- Add the bourbon and bitters to the mixing glass. Fill the glass with ice and stir for about 30 seconds to chill the cocktail and dilute it slightly.
- Strain the mixture into a rocks glass over a large ice cube.
- Garnish with an orange peel, twisting it over the drink to release the essential oils.
The Hojicha adds a nutty and earthy undertone to the traditional Old Fashioned, complementing the rich flavor of the bourbon.
Hojicha Mojito
The Mojito is a refreshing Cuban cocktail, and the addition of Ground Hojicha takes it to a whole new level.
Ingredients:
- 10 fresh mint leaves
- 1/2 lime, cut into wedges
- 1/2 ounce of simple syrup

- 2 ounces of white rum
- Soda water
- Mint sprig and lime wheel for garnish
Instructions:
- In a shaker, gently muddle the mint leaves, lime wedges, simple syrup, and Ground Hojicha together. Be careful not to over - muddle the mint, as it can make the cocktail bitter.
- Add the white rum to the shaker and fill it with ice. Shake well for about 15 seconds.
- Strain the mixture into a highball glass filled with ice.
- Top off the glass with soda water and stir gently.
- Garnish with a mint sprig and a lime wheel.
The Hojicha in this Mojito adds a unique flavor dimension, balancing the sweetness of the simple syrup and the tartness of the lime.
Hojicha Espresso Martini
The Espresso Martini is a popular coffee - based cocktail, and Ground Hojicha can be a great alternative to coffee.
